Chapter 956: Taking refuge in Li Feng
Hong Funu didn't expect that the four of them were actually the people in charge of the Four Kingdoms City, so she quickly said: "Four city lords, don't you know what you have to do with me? If it's business, let's forget it.
I have given all the agency rights to the Matsumoto family, you can go to the Matsumoto family."
Sugawara said: "Thank you, madam. We are here just to ask if you need help, madam. We all know the situation in Akihi Castle, but we have no way to change the emperor's will."
Hongfu Girl said: "Four city lords, please take a seat first. Someone come and make tea for the four city lords."
Soon a maid came out with a tea tray. This was Hong Fu Nu's maid, adopted since childhood. Hong Fu Nu adopted many such maids and trained them as city maids and bodyguards.
Because this was a good deed, the court didn't say anything.
This time when she went to sea, she brought out a total of two. This is one of them, and there is another one hidden in the dark, protecting the Red Fu Girl.
Seeing the four people on Sugawara each holding a cup of tea, Hong Fu Girl immediately smiled and said: "This is tea brewed from the tea leaves picked from the tea trees planted by Lantian Marquis himself. Only few people can drink it. You four are very special."
lucky."
"Then let's have a good taste." Sugawara said.
The other three people had already picked up the teacups and started drinking with enjoyment. Sugawara also drank without hesitation.
After Inugami Mita took a sip of tea, he said: "It is indeed good tea, madam. Let's talk about business."
Seeing that the other party was getting straight to the point, Hong Fu Nu put down her teacup and said, "I wonder if the four city lords have anything serious to discuss with me?"
Inugami Mita said: "Madam, we all know that Marquis Lantian is bound to capture a real city in Fuso. We can help Madam, no, help Marquis Lantian."
"You help me?" Hong Fu Nu asked in surprise, "How can you help me?"
"Help Lord Lan Tian capture Oda Ichiro's city." Inugami Mita said.
Hongfu Nu nodded and said: "How to help? Send troops or give information?"
"Give Marquis Lantian whatever he needs?" Sugawara said.
"I'm very curious, why do you want to help Marquis Lantian?" Hong Fu asked.
"We hope that Marquis Lantian will let us manage the Four Kingdoms City?" the four people said in unison.
Hong Fu Nu was even more surprised and said: "Four of you, please don't joke about this matter. I don't think it's funny at all."
Sakabe said: "We can understand why Madam is so surprised, but we are definitely not joking.
Our four aristocratic families and the Tsuruta family each occupied a castle belonging to Oda Ichiro.
However, the royal family will not hand over the city to us for a long time, so we are willing to side with Marquis Lantian."
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you are talking about. My task is to do business and then raise funds to build Qiuri City.
As for what you are talking about, Mr. Hou arranged for others to do it, but I understand what you mean.
As soon as the person sent by the Marquis arrives, I will help you, tell him about the matter, and let him handle it, do you think it's okay?" Hongfu Nu said.
The four people on Sugawara looked at each other, and finally nodded.
"In that case, I'd like to trouble Madam." Sugawara said.
"This is not troublesome at all. As long as you are sincerely willing to support Lantian Hou, I believe that the Marquis will never treat you badly." Hongfu Nu said.
"We sincerely want to follow Marquis Lantian." Sugawara said as the four of them ate together.
"Okay, give me a copy of all the information about your family, as well as the current situation in Fuso Kingdom, and the situation about the Fuso royal family."
"Okay. Please give me two days. After two days, we will hand over all the information requested by the lady." Sugawara said.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here for two days. You can go back."
"Yes, we are leaving first."
Sugawara and the other four people exited the inn.
Ichiro Matsumoto stepped forward and said: "Four adults, it's getting late, why don't you stay and have a meal together."
"No need." Sugawara said, "We have something to do and go back."
Then he looked at Ichiro Matsumoto playfully and said with a smile: "Good job, your Matsumoto family has embraced Marquis Lantian, and your Matsumoto family will have a share in the future Fuso."
Ichiro Matsumoto broke out in cold sweat and suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, please forgive me, I don't know what you are talking about."
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you really don't know or if you pretend you don't know, now greet the distinguished guests inside properly. If they are even the slightest bit dissatisfied, I will destroy your Matsumoto clan."
"Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely entertain your distinguished guests well."
Sugawara nodded and left with the other three people.
Only then did Matsumoto Ichiro stand up, spit at their backs, and then ran into the inn and came to the red whisk girl.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
Hongfunu shook her head and said: "It's okay, they didn't do anything to me, it's just that all four of them want to join Lan Tianhou. This thing makes me very strange. What do you think of this?"
"Why did they seek refuge with Marquis Lantian? They are obviously from aristocratic families, aren't they afraid of being blamed by the court?" Ichiro Matsumoto said.
Hongfu Nu said: "Have you taken refuge with the Marquis? Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the court?"
"It's different. The foundation of my Matsumoto family is in Shikoku Castle. As long as the Marquis occupies Shikoku Castle, my Matsumoto family will be fine.
But the foundations of the four major families are all in Heian Kyo, not in Shikoku City. If they seek refuge with the Marquis, their family's foundation will be lost," Ichiro Matsumoto said.
"I understand. In the past two days, you don't have to do anything except sell my goods and inquire about my elder brother. Lest they suspect you."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Wait a minute, go to the four city gates and keep an eye on them. If anyone from the four major families leaves the city in a hurry, come and report them immediately."
"It's ma'am."
…
The four of Sugawara came to the secret room of Sugawara's house.
Sugawara spoke first: "Three of you, what do you think?"
Inugami Mita said: "Although the other party did not say it clearly, the woman also said that someone else will come to deal with Oda Ichiro."
"Yes, Oda Ichiro cannot escape this catastrophe. The only thing I'm worried about now is whether they will take action against us." Mari Takada said.
Ban Hebe said: "By attacking us, they are going against the entire Fuso Kingdom. Do they have this ability? Isn't Datang afraid that his reputation will be damaged?"
Sugawara said: "No matter what, we have to inform the Tsuruta family and tell them that the Marquis of Lantian of the Tang Dynasty has sent people over.
They are seeking information in the name of doing business and whether we should take measures against them."
